There are many ideas about Sharon Draper’s writing that I enjoy. I like how the author makes you feel like you have melody’s problems. “I can’t walk, I can’t talk, I can’t feed myself, and I can’t go to the bathroom by myself, big bummer.” The story is descriptive.”They’d see a girl with brown eyes full of curiosity.” There’s a lot of proof that the author has cerebral palsy knowledge.”But Melody will never be able to walk by herself,or say a single sentence.” These are some of the details that describe and help you understand the ideas of the book Out of my Mind.

My thoughts of child labor are,that it was unfair that kids 5 years old had to work and do dangerous things for the jobs like working in coal mines with all the coal dust they would breathe in and how fast they had to do it. But I learned that in mills the doors were locked so they could not get out which was bad because there was a fire once but the doors were locked so they had to jump out the window and the net to catch them broke. Some more of my thoughts are that it was unfair that if you were even a second late they would cut your pay and if you lost a finger our two you would still have to work which was unfair. That’s my thoughts and what I learned about child labor. What do you think about it?

I rarely get sick so I would be in a lot so Vice president would not be in much and I would be good at approving laws and I would be a fair president. I would work at agreements concerning trade to the aid that the United States gives to needy countries. I’d appoint ambassadors to represent the United States in foreign countries. I would also be a good commander in chef. That’s why I want to be the Executive part of branch and President.

The economic warfare between Great Britain and the colonists began well before the colonies declared their Independence in 1776. Regulations from the crown were met with fierce opposition from the colonists. After lobbies and petitions proved ineffective,the colonists turned to boycotting imported English goods. Boycotting proved to be successful in crippling British trade. After a second boycott in 1768 parliament Townshend duties except for the tax on tea. The colonists persisted and the American boycott on tea ultimately culminated in the Boston Tea party of 1773.
